Hey everyone!
After losing some important information regarding some accounts of mine, forgetting others, and plenty of personal drama - I HAVE RETURNED!
On the note of losing stuff, I no longer have any access to the old Skype information, contacts, any account names from any of ya'll, or the such. So I haven't been able to keep in contact that way.
But I'm here now, and I'm looking to see how things have been.

Welcome back brother! Sorry to hear about the drama. You haven't missed much. Things have been quiet while we wait for the beta. Will you be returning to writing our back story?

I would love to, really. Unfortunately, I've lost it all - all my work, plans, data, characters, etc. You know, lost quite a few things in the past year or so.

I'd need to see who else is still around to find out where to start back up again, as well as read some of the lore for CoT to make sure it blends in nicely. But definitely, I'd be willing to do it again.

Man, sorry to hear that. Let me know if you start up again and need any help.

I'd like to start up again, but I feel like I should talk to some of the other members of the SG before I even start, so I don't go all lone-wolf and craft a story others don't want to be a part of. Finding it hard to do as some of the older members I used to converse with (Kovacs, Kaxiya, etc) are harder to contact now than before.

I hear ya. Maybe it's best to hold off until the game's closer to beta anyway? I mean, starting early sounds good on paper, because it leaves more time to expand the tale. But on the other hand, as the beta gets closer, there will be more details about canonical lore that could be very useful, and I'm sure activity here will pick up as well. Things are dead right now because as excited as we all are, you can only spend so much time geeking out about something that's not even close to being made yet.

Totally understand that. And probably is best to wait, especially given that the top brass in this SG are currently MIA.

I've got the forum and this thread saved as favorites, and I check in every few days. Aside from that, I've decided to take one last shot at being able to say that I've lived one of my childhood dreams. I'm trying to go pro in Team Fortress 2. I wanted to be a professional gamer in the 2nd grade. I told everyone that one day I would. I swore it up through middle school. Unfortunately, that was the 80's and 90's. There just wasn't a viable competitive scene when I was young enough to really devote myself to it.

But I've reached that age when you're closer to 40 than you want to be, and you start to look back on your life and take stock of where you've been, and where you're going, and I'm feeling like it's now or never. If I fail, I fail; but I don't want to go through life feeling like I never put my all into fulfilling a dream.

So that's what's up with me ATM. I'm still not pro-level, but I'm getting better. I can see marked improvement, and that's all I really need. I'm looking forward to Valve launching competitive match-making soon. That'll be a great way to gauge where I am.

Congrats on meeting the one, Kovacs! Getting married was the best decision I ever made. I hope you find as much happiness!

So, anyone from the group working with the staff know what happened with the custom SG building perk? in my absence I've don't know if there was ever anything i had to do for that after the initial contact.

There was the survey back in '14, which IIRC, was a few months before the "Carnegie, Vanderbilt, and You" update. I've not seen anything new on the Mogul front since then, and I have been checking my mailbox and filters.

Hello,
Looks like an active group - I'm sure at one point I may look into an SG here at some point.Congrats to Kovac - cherish the love of your life - I did and miss her deeply, we met in City of Heroes, she passed in January and it's been a long road. I have one of the Mogul buildings (Mischief's Ascent - was and even more so now an o mage to my wife, Mischief). Based on one of their recent updates, I think they farmed several of these perks out to another company to model, but I think that has fallen through and they have had to bring things internally. Just not sure, but things have been quiet on that front - still excited to see things progress. After you submitted your three options for the building, they contact you with the one they selected to have one of the artists start sketching the buildings before sending it to the 3D modelling team. That's basically where Mischief's Ascent left off - was just finishing with the artist's sketches. Guess we will see what happens going forward.

Cheers, Everyone!

I would like to join this cause. Family. Freedom. Hope. In life as well as in this game! Sign me up! (Or rather where do I sign up?) I will be, like most of us, putting an emended amount of built up energy into this game.

I have been aware about CoT since its debute, briefing myself to the most recent updates from time to time, though I only created an account yesterday. I sadly never got to play CoH, but my hype for this spiritual successor is increasing with the time.

So, err, I would certainly like to be part of this SG once the game launches!

Hey everyone!
Been waiting patiently as has everyone else for this to get going.
We were hot and heavy in the early days and have tapered off in a major way during the past 3 years.
Did we ever get a view at the HQ ?
Did the pre CoT/CoH story ever get written?
I will, as always, sneak in and out to view the forums...

I don't think anyone's gotten an actual look at their HQ's yet. The COT/COH story was all lost while NightLight dealt with some AFK stuff. We've decided not to pick it up again until the game starts to really take form. That way, we avoid any chances of what we write conflicting with the still-developing continuity.

Greetings everyone! I'm bored. Really, really bored. It's that time of year when work slows down because people are going on vacation, or not wanting to start projects during the holidays. So I'm sitting with two more hours before I get to go home and I am BORED. So I thought I'd pop in. It's been a couple months. How's everyone doing? Holiday plans?

Wow, we've been a team for 3.5 years. That's pretty good considering we don't even have a beta of the game yet. I miss being part of an MMO. Sadly, my OCPD won't let me join one that's already in progress. I really hope this gets off the ground soon.
